Figure 6-39 Terrain Proximity Indications and Colors
Terrain Color Terrain Location
Red Terrain above, or within 100 ft below the aircraft altitude
Yellow Terrain between 100 ft and 1000 ft below the aircraft altitude
Black Terrain more than 1000 ft below the aircraft altitude
Terrain and obstacle information can be displayed on the following pages:
• Terrain Proximity Page (caution and warning
obstacles only)
• AUX - Trip Planning Page
• Navigation Map • Flight Plan Pages (except VNAV)
• PFD Inset Map
To display terrain and obstacle data on any page other than the Terrain Proximity Page, press the
MAP Softkey,
then press the TERRAIN Softkey. Obstacles with heights greater than 200 feet above ground level (AGL) are
displayed in three color levels (as shown in Table 6-3). The G1000 adjusts colors automatically as the aircraft
altitude changes.
Terrain display may also be deselected from the Inset Map without affecting the terrain display on the MFD
maps.
